Here come the questions...

Feeling better now !

CTC has all Meguires products on sale, so I went in and "loaded Up ! " :)

Put some heat on in the garage and gently caressed that pesky dust of of her ... She's back to gleaming perfection again ...

Of course I had to start her up, and back her in and out a few times just to get that perfect position ...

The days start to get longer as of today :) :canada:

Meguires is good stuff -- I use their quick detailer a lot.

Be sure to warm it up completely when you start her up to prevent moisture forming in the oil.

Yes the daylight hours get longer now -- Hallelujah !!!!! Now the march to spring.

Have a great Christmas, Jim.

Decided to take the car out this afternoon for one last ride before the snow hits . Got about 5 KLMs before a cop stopped me for no front license plate ! ! :nono:
He said he stopped another guy last week with "the same excuse" and that he was just checking to make sure I wasn't the same guy as he also had a black car .. and that he wasn't going to let him off with a warning again ... He let me go ....

Then I pulled up to a curb thinking I had at least 2 feet to go ... got out and looked and I was 1/8 inch from hitting the curb ! :eek:

So then I went to a mall.. parked in the MIDDLE of the lot a mile from any curbs , and went in a bought a new camera to get some shots of my baby ! Found out the heater works well ! Mega cold out !
Filled 'er up with gas and some stabilizer ... then back to bed ! :)

Events

When the Vette season finally does roll around .. ( my Mother would tell me to quit wishing my life away ) :)
What are the events that most people here try to attend ? Are there any do-not- miss outings ?

I'm looking forward to meeting other owners, seeing their cars and swapping some war stories .... learning, in my case .

Ya man -- they are a must, Wayne. A 'poser's' dream and meets that Tony loves his picture taken at.

On top of my list for the coming spring is the Hamilton Airport show in April and the Coping Event at Manny's Dasilva Motorsports in May.

There are any number of other events during the spring and summer.

Look forward to meeting you too Jim.

Carl , I wouldn't put a run flat tire on my car even if it they were free :D

Worst riding and handling tire ever made , no matter what brand.

NON runflats all the way :canada:
 
what tire would you recommend for my '04? I want to drive as early in the season (Feb, this year if the salt is off the road) and as late as possible (first snowfall). I may even drive in the rain :). Still go with performance tires or is there a good 3 season tire you could recommend. I only mention them as it is my understanding that as temps drop the handling and traction of performance tires goes down the drain.
What I would like is:
- better handling and ride comfort than the run flats.
- good in cool weather, great in the rain
- noise not an issue due to my exhaust :)

any thoughts would be more than welcome... :seeya:

Wayne , one of the best tires going right now are the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo.

I have been selling and installing these tires for a year now , and have yet to have a bad comment on them .

The Ventus V12 evo K110 utilizes the latest technology to maximize steering response and improve high-speed stability while the tire's water drainage system ensures safety on wet surfaces. The K110 is a Z-rated street tire with the proven Ventus Ultra-High Performance tread compound, and comes in 25/30/35/40/45/50 series. The directional tread of the tire gives a sophisticated look and improves traction while preventing against hydroplaning.

A new concept in ultra high performance tires that delivers superb control and braking. Experience unrivalled comfort during high-speed driving.


Solid center tracking rib – enhances braking performance and ensures optimal road contact pressure and controlled steering response at high speeds
3D effect on block edge – evenly distributes road surface contact for optimal handling and braking
HPSR (High Tg Polymer & Specific Resin) Compound – ensures outstanding traction and braking on wet roads
High-density nylon reinforcement belt – allows even distribution of ground contact pressure during cornering
Y-shape channels, linear grooves and MTR (Multiple Tread Radius) – effectively sweeps water away from the tire

Did I mention the price --------------Under $1000 for a set of four
